Genital TB Diagnosis and Management
Advanced cases of genital TB may reveal fibrosis, scarring and peritubal adhesions. Ultrasound may show dilated, thickened fallopian tubes filled with a clear fluid called hydrosalpinx, or a thick, caseous material called pyosalpinx.
"Tuberculosis has the ability to severely damage the fallopian tubes, if not treated at the initial stage.. it can further lead to serious health complications and also result in infertility,"
Male genital tuberculosis is an uncommon subset of genitourinary tuberculosis involving the prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, testes, epididymides, or penis. One of the first modern descriptions of male genital tuberculosis was published in 1879, 3 years before Koch discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
